Jim Jordan voted against: - stopping price gouging at the pump - reducing the cost of child care - the child tax credit - free school lunches But at least he can tweet about how bad high costs are! That's worth his $174,000 a year salary, right?

Gym has been gifted over 3 million in tax payer dollars for doing nothing in 14 years. How much is that per tweet?
